      DBA VHD+ 8x42 - Paul Brewster

      27 April 2018

      In the field the binoculars were put to the sternest test at the end of a dull winter’s day and performed up to my high expectations in all conditions. The 7° field of view made finding birds easy, even small ones, like the Goldcrest I watched flit about in the canopy of pines.
